Chapter 682 Come to me
"Ah! Ah!!"
Charles woke up from his nightmare with unconscious wails.
At this time, his body was covered with sweat, and the whole bed sheet was soaked with cold sweat. Charles opened his eyes blankly. In front of him were Polaris and Caliban with worried faces.
"Charles, are you okay, Charles, professor?" Caliban came to Charles' side, holding an obvious needle in his hand, as if he was ready to give Charles a shot at any time.
Polaris next to him was also full of fear. At this time, she was no longer a little girl who knew nothing. After communicating with Caliban for a while, Polaris deeply understood the situation of the world. At the same time, she also knew how dangerous Charles was at this time!
The key to Charles becoming a weapon of mass destruction was not Alzheimer's disease, but his epilepsy. Usually, he used drugs for treatment and control, and he looked a bit harmless, but once Charles got sick, his brain would release powerful telepathy because of epilepsy.
This kind of mental power coverage is uncontrollable like epilepsy. The terrifying telepathy will instantly paralyze the brains of creatures in a large range around. For ordinary people, this level of mental oppression is undoubtedly fatal.
Not only ordinary people, but even some mutants find it difficult to resist this powerful force, which can be seen from the tragic deaths of the X-Men.
It is precisely because of this that when Caliban and Polaris found out that Charles had a nightmare, they were so terrified that they were afraid that Charles would get sick because of the nightmare.
But fortunately, from the current situation, Charles can still control himself.
"Caliban, is that you?"
"Yes, it's me, Charles, how do you feel, do you need some water?" Caliban quickly put away the syringe. He knew that Charles hated this thing very much, and if he saw it, he would make a fuss again.
Just when Caliban was about to get up to pour a glass of water, Charles suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm. Caliban didn't react, and didn't know where Charles got such a strong force. Caliban was directly dragged to the bed by him.
"Magneto! Magneto is back!"
Charles widened his eyes, staring at Caliban with a piercing gaze, and said word by word.
"He is going to destroy the world. Quick! Call my X-Men!"
At first, Caliban was really scared to see Charles so anxious, but when he heard Charles' words, the expression on his face suddenly became speechless.
"Professor, that was your nightmare. Magneto is dead, and died a long, long time ago."
"He is really back! You believe me, ahem. You have to believe me!" Charles grabbed Caliban's arm tightly and wouldn't let him leave.
"Stop it, Charles."
Caliban roughly broke Charles's hand, and then pulled Polaris out of his house without looking back.
"No! Come back, you damn albino, come back!"
Charles was still shouting, but Caliban, who knew Charles' character well, didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. He pushed Polaris out and closed the door heavily.
"I must gather my X-Men!"
Charles was the only one left in the room. He sat slumped on the bed. Seeing that his shouts did not receive any response, he directly put his hand on his temple.
"X-Men, come to me!"
"Why. Why is there no response?"
"My X-Men, come to me!"
"Come and save me quickly"
"."
Outside the door, listening to the bursts of crying coming from the bedroom, Polaris's face looked a little bad.
"Are we going too far? After all, he is an old man, and a sick old man. Treating him like this is a bit..."
"I know what you are thinking. You must think I am going too far, right?" Caliban looked at Polaris with a calm face and said softly. "I have taken care of Charles for several years. No one knows him better than me."
After a pause, Caliban took Polaris to the table in the living room and continued.
"I dealt with Charles in my early years. Charles is not as 'good' as you think. He looks like nothing on the surface, but he is an extremely arrogant guy in his heart, especially when he was young."
"What happened to him when he was young?" Polaris really didn't know Professor X's past.
"Do you know why many mutants would rather wander around like me than join the X-Men in the early years?"
Hearing Caliban's question, Polaris shook his head slightly.
"The reason is very simple. Young Charles simply regarded the X-Men as his 'property'. I don't deny his contribution to mutants. He opened a mutant school and taught children to control their mutant abilities. These are all good things. No one can erase Charles' actions in this regard, but at the same time, isn't Charles using the X-Men?"
Caliban smiled meaningfully and continued.
"Charles is a paranoid person like Magneto. Although he wants mutants and humans to live in peace, Charles is also a person who believes in the supremacy of mutants. He has been using the X-Men to gain a high position in human society. We can see these things clearly."
Listening to Caliban's story, Polaris was a little bit unbelievable. Based on her understanding of Charles, this old man should be just a kind and miserable old man.
Caliban also saw Polaris's thoughts, and he explained in a deep voice.
"There was a girl named Raven in the X-Men before. She was also called Mystique. She was a very famous mutant. He had dealt with her several times. You know, Raven and Charles grew up together. No one knows Charles better than her.
And these things were told to me by Raven herself, so you should understand that I am definitely not saying them without basis. In addition, Charles has done so many years. To be honest, many mutants are disappointed with him. In the end, only his X-Men still trust him. It's a pity."
"Then, what about Raven?" Polaris asked.
"She died a long time ago."
Caliban spread his hands.
"Because of Raven's death, Magneto and Charles broke up completely. How can I say these two people? Since Magneto's death, Charles has slowly developed Alzheimer's disease. What the beast means is that these pains have activated Charles' brain's self-protection consciousness, and he began to protect himself by forgetting some bad memories."
"So that's it." Polaris nodded thoughtfully.
Caliban changed the subject and spoke again. "But we can't disbelieve all of Charles's words. It's true that he is old and confused, but his mutant abilities are still there."
"Do you think what he said is true?" Polaris frowned. "But didn't he mistake me for Magneto before?"
"You do have the same mutant abilities as Magneto, but have you ever thought that there are more than one person who came here from other universes." Caliban said seriously. "There are hundreds of mutants who appeared in Manhattan."
"What do you mean!"
Polaris opened her mouth slightly, and she now knew what Caliban wanted to say.
Caliban also nodded and frowned deeply. "In the current situation, it is not a good thing for so many mutants to emerge. Ordinary mutants are fine, but if Magneto really emerges, I am afraid it will start a world war."
Hearing this, Polaris's heart was lifted up all of a sudden.
World war, that's not a joke.
"Do you suspect that my father, Magneto, has really come to this world, and may lead the mutants from other universes to start a war in this world?"
"It's very likely." Caliban nodded, and then he pointed at himself and said. "Don't forget what my mutant ability is. When Flash took us through New York before, I was almost scared to death."
"Did you sense Magneto's superpowers?" Polaris certainly knew what Caliban's mutant ability was. He could clearly sense the mutants and corresponding superpowers within a certain range.
"I'm not sure. There are too many, and there are some high-level guys among them. Although they haven't reached the level of Jean Grey's complete body, some of them are as strong as Charles when he was young." Caliban answered truthfully.
"Then what are we waiting for? Tell Zhang Ye this news quickly!" Polaris said anxiously.
"Do you think I didn't do it?" Caliban said here, shaking his head in distress. "I have been trying to contact Zhang Ye since yesterday, but I have not been able to get through. For now, let's wait for Flash and Logan to come back."
Before he finished speaking, a purple crack suddenly tore open the space of the living room.
The next moment, Flash supported the extremely weak Logan and trembled from the other side of the portal.
"Flash!" Seeing this scene, Polaris immediately stood up. She quickly came to the other side of Logan and helped to support him. "Are you all right?"
"Fortunately, I just encountered a little trouble in the middle, so it took some time." Flash helped Logan to the sofa and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Trouble, what trouble?" Polaris asked curiously.
And Flash did not keep it a secret. She just put her finger on her shoulder, and soon, an ant jumped to her fingertips.
Looking along Flash's finger, Polaris and Caliban could even see the ant waving its forelimbs to greet them.
The next moment, a mechanical voice sounded.
(Nice to meet you, I'm Hank Pym!)
